Yamaha G100-115 speaker

Hello to all,
this is my first post here and I have a few questions for you guys.

I Have a Yamaha G100-115. I believe it to be a series I. It currently has a Peavey Scorpion S15825 installed in it and it has Surprisingly warm tone. It came with the original (blown) speaker? Yamaha JA-3802 included with the purchase. would it be worth fixing the 3802?
I see them listed as bass speakers frequently and also as organ speakers too which leads me to believe that its kind of a catch all instrument speaker rather than a guitar specific speaker

I understand that the Peavey is kinda middle of the road "guitar amp" speaker and I am wondering if I could do better.

what would you recommend to bring out that nice warm tone?


Thanks very much,


J M Fahey

The Peavey Scorpion is very good.
The Yamaha, loke any other speaker, can be repaired but I think parts for it would be hard to find.

any chance you could send me or post a picture of the original Yamaha speaker?

I have a g100-115 Series I which has a great speaker, but i'm not sure if it's the original as it has no sticker on it. It looks like a cast frame Fane.

Thanks

The original Yamaha speaker was a good Eminence type stamped sheet metal speaker; I have seen more modern Yamahas with a straight Made in USA Eminence. (Labelled Yamaha , of course).
Not bad at all.
If somebody replaced it with a cast frame Fane, he did you a favor because they are even better.
It *might* also be a cast frame, PA type Eminence.
Post a few pictures, maybe somebody can recognize it.

I wouldn't mind getting my hands on a g100 115.  Isn't the series 1 the one that has the parametric eq?
